At the Department for Infrastructure and Transport, we are connecting South Australia to keep our State moving. We are responsible for delivering a multi-billion-dollar pipeline of transformative transport and social infrastructure projects, operating and maintaining thousands of kilometres of roads and managing our city’s public transport network.

Our work encompasses every part of our State; from our cities to our regions, connecting and strengthening community. We value diversity and inclusion and foster an environment of collaboration, flexibility, and support for our people.

The Opportunity
In this role, you will be responsible for the planning and coordination of our senior level project and planning governance committees. Your main duties include providing advice to planning and project teams, ensuring adherence to governance processes, and facilitating timely decision-making for project issue resolution. You will also drive continuous improvement in governance arrangements for our infrastructure projects and programs.

As a Portfolio Governance Officer, you will provide secretariat support for major infrastructure governance committees, manage complex information, ensure transparency in project governance, and support effective decision-making. You will be responsible for coordinating and reviewing Public Works Committee submissions and preparing executive presentations. Your collaboration with executives and project teams will be vital in meeting governance requirements in line with our project management framework.

About You
We're seeking a detail-oriented professional with strong written and verbal communication skills.

As the successful candidate you will demonstrate:
  • Proficiency in project management software and systems, and an understanding of governance processes.
  • Transferrable skills and experience in coordinating executive-level committee meetings and managing and communicating sensitive and complex information, with the ability to negotiate outcomes.
  • The ability to understand and respond to customer needs, provide professional and positive experiences, and manage varying internal and external stakeholder interactions.
  • The ability to work under broad directions, independently or as part of a team, quickly adapting to changing environments.
In return, we offer a dynamic, supportive and rewarding work environment where you'll have the opportunity to make impactful contributions for South Australia's future. With a focus on continuous learning, you'll gain exposure to a diverse portfolio of projects and stakeholder engagement, providing opportunities for professional growth and development. The Department offers a wide variety of learning and development offerings and is located in a brand-new building with great work and leisure facilities available.
